The Panthers used a large rotation of defensive tackles that included a variety of young players, but a key piece for the future of that group has announced he's returning to the program.
Francis Brewu, who was named to the Pro Football Focus All-Freshman team Tuesday, will return to Pitt next season. Brewu worked in a rotation with the likes of Sean Fitzsimmons, Isaiah Neal, Nick James and Nakhi Johnson, who announced he was entering the transfer portal ahead of Pitt's contest against Boston College and didn't travel with the team.
Brewu only tallied 13 tackles to go with 2.5 TFLs, one sack and four quarterback hits, but he was impressive and has the potential to shine on Pitt's defensive line.
